In an interview with FoxNews, Trump made it clear that he would "refrain from imposing additional sanctions or other 'serious consequences' against Russia," noting that his meeting with Putin today went "very well."
Because of what happened today, I think I don't need to think about it now. Maybe I'll have to think about it in two weeks or three weeks, but we don't need to think about it now
Recall
Trump at one point threatened to impose tough sanctions against Russia earlier this month to force Putin to stop the war against Ukraine. But Trump backed off that deadline after Putin agreed to a face-to-face meeting.
